Understanding and Caring for Those with OCD
This chapter focuses on how to effectively care for individuals struggling with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, specifically those with OCD.

It also addresses common assumptions to avoid, such as categorizing everything associated with OCD as a sin, recognizing the difficulty for individuals to think differently or ignore their thoughts, and understanding that intrusive thoughts do not reflect true temptation or desires.
